The ISO/IEC 19776-3 standard, published by the Korean Agency for Technology and Standards (KR-KATS) on November 8, 2018, under the designation KS X ISO/IEC 19776-3:2018 (2023), is an essential part of a series of standards focusing on Information technology -- Computer Graphics, Image Processing and Environmental Data Representation - Extensible 3D (X3D). Specifically addressing Part 3: Compressed Binary Encoding, this standard defines the compression mechanism for binary representations in X3D scenes.
This document outlines methods to optimize storage space and transmission efficiency for three-dimensional graphical data by employing advanced data compression techniques. It details the structure of compressed binary files as well as the algorithms necessary for their decoding and reconstruction within an X3D environment. The standard aims at facilitating interoperability among various software platforms that utilize or generate X3D content, thereby promoting broader adoption and integration across diverse applications ranging from virtual reality to scientific visualization.
Compressed Binary Encoding (CBE) as specified in this part of the ISO/IEC 19776 series is critical for enhancing performance in scenarios where bandwidth limitations exist or when storage capacity needs optimization. By providing precise guidelines on how to compress and decompress binary data efficiently, it ensures compatibility across different implementations while maintaining the integrity and quality of the graphical information conveyed.
